  K75 BMW
It all started innocently enough. A BMW K-75 with an aftermarket fairing, stereo, seat and backrest. And the dealer took my old GS700E in trade. Two weeks later, it looked like this. You don't want to know what I looked like.

Even in this sorry state, the engine turned over. Insurance didn't cover the wreck, so I did the only thing I could. I fixed it. About a year later it looked like this.

And after another year, like this. By the way, this is how NOT to build a monowheel trailer. You want a small wheel, suspension and a rigid connection to the bike.

And here it is today. It's ugly and starting to lose compression, but still redlines in 5th and since I spare no expense on mechanical maintainence, it is utterly reliable. Definitely a ratfighter.
